Escalating Narrative of Consequence Form

Stepping forward with a simple, attention gathering gesture, the martial artist enters the geomantic and narrative center of the scene – a point in space which exists just before him purely by virtue of his overwhelming presence. All eyes turn upon him as he assumes his ordained place at the focus of the story his deeds have woven, but obvious target though he may be, none can harm him while causality itself conspires to protect him. He gains the following benefits:

He is immune to all Sickness effects if the Escalation Level of the scene is one or greater

He is immune to all Poison effects if the Escalation Level of the scene is two or greater

He is immune to all Crippling effects if the Escalation Level of the scene is three or greater

He is immune to all unwanted Shaping if the Escalation Level of the scene is four or greater

He is immune to all Mental Influence if the Escalation Level of the scene is five or greater

He adds a bonus of (Essence + Escalation Level) to any roll-offs provoked by these immunities

He gains a bonus of (Martial Arts + Escalation Level) to all of his physical defense values

This charm is more effective the longer the martial artist waits to activate it, as befits the Narrative of Escalation. The effects of the charm are based on the Escalation Level of the scene at the moment the charm is activated, and do not change unless the character re-activates the charm.
